Re: 1989 IROC 344 original miles

There must be some unknown history to this car that people wanted to avoid. I wonder what it could be?

Re: 1989 IROC 344 original miles

Like we all know, people that buy ultra low miles cars are expecting a whole different set of standards & at a level way beyond typical cars that have been driven. Details of things that are hard, if not impossible to reproduce.
These are pictures taken like its more of a daily driver. Some picts hint at a low mile car, but geez....

I'm certainly Not saying its a daily driver, but kinda presented like it is? Could be the seller just doesn't know what tentative buyer might expect to see? Or, maybe the ebay auction was just to drum up some interest & find out if there are some serious buyers out there? hard to say I guess.

Somebody on this forum has a light blue camaro or firebird? with these type of miles & years back they posted pictures of the brake calipers & the backside of a removed wheel. I was in awe looking at those pics. Everything looked like it just came out of a GM box. IMO, Thats how you present a 300 mile car. show the picts that are the ones that only an ulta low mile cars can provide.

Even the one "would be" decent picture of the left rear wheel has the sun hitting a dirty camera lens making that picture cloudy.

Somebody needs to detail this car, have some professional pics taken & present it again. Would be cool to see.

I actually contacted the seller. He wanted 60K or so, which in today's market, is not unreasonable. But I also mentioned that the car should be presented better for him to get that kind of money. He wanted my contact info, but eBay has become very strict about sharing that information and blocked my messages.

yea, pretty much have to message your number like "six three oh" - remember 20+ years ago when ebay had your user name as your email address? to ask a question you click their ebay user name & your email client would open up & email them directly. Things have changed a bit.
